This site is great- terrifc info; knowledgeable, generous, and supportive members; everyone gets along. How can I complain?

Well, honestly my only complaint is the lack of traffic. I understand that this thing of ours is limited in scope, but for shame! I hate logging on and seeing only a handful of updates (if I'm lucky). Another site I'm on (not, mind you, a tea site) has a coffee and tea subforum that gets a lot more traffic than this one, sad to say. It even features daily contributions by no less an authority than Hobbes. Okay, that may have been a shameless plug, and I do think it's the epitome of bad form to steer folks to another site. However, if you lust for another site to read about tea, feel free to take a gander-

If you think it's wrong that I posted this, I'll gladly delete this thread. That site has over 11K members, and doesn't need any help from anyone. It's just a good resource where likeminded folks can share their ideas, and it's been seeing a lot of pu'er based threads. You'll probably recognize some faces from this site already.

I agree with you that it is rather slow somedays but . . . . Yeah its my turn for the but . . . , anyway, If you use all of our energy typing up the same recommendations that we just gave to someone else last week we would never have time to review our beloved puerh and actually talk to each other.

This is not a put down on noobs or nothing, we were all in that stage at one time. Ask your questions! Were always glad to help, and gain a new follower!

Thanks for the recommendation. I think, in small forums, there is more real sense of community, and people are generally very nice to each other. In larger forums, information is more, and sometimes it's easier to get information by using the search function of the forum.

I have yet to read more of the other site. Except for the tea/coffee forum, the site seems for men to exchange beauty (shaving?) information? Haha I didn't know men have such kind of forums too.

I love everyone on this forum, and it's evolving rate! I can neglect it for a couple of weeks and come back and still see the same members, interesting topics, and know it will be easy enough to catch up on. comfort
thanks people...keep spreading the fire light!

I don't understand. First of all, is that an entire forum dedicated to shaving? How? (Yes, I understand the irony of asking how there can be an entire forum dedicated to shaving on a forum entirely dedicated to tea). Secondly, does this mean there is a big overlap between people that are really into tea and that are really into shaving?
